{{trope list needs context}}
A 1924 silent film directed by Erich von Stroheim, based on the novel ''[[McTeague]]''. Particularly noteworthy as one of the earliest examples of various "troubled production" tropes, the film's original cut came in at a stunning ''nine and a half hours''. [[MGM]] eventually took the film out of von Stroheim's hands and released it with a running time of about two and a half hours. The shortened film was a flop, panned by critics and disowned by its director.
